Vignette Tolling System

To drive on toll roads in Slovenia, of which there are many, you will need to pay for and display a vignette. All vehicles must have a current vignette displayed, as it is required for toll roads, as well as some expressways and other roads managed by the local motorway authority (DARS).

You can find more information about the vignette in the resources section at the bottom of this page. Payment for the vignette should be taken care of upon bringing your vehicle into the country and you’ll receive a sticker to display on the windshield. Rather than paying tolls with each use as is customary in the U.S., the vignette system means that everyone pays for the toll costs with a yearly payment, which is mandatory for each vehicle.

If you have plans to ship a vehicle to Slovenia, or are considering it, you should visit our information page to learn more! There you’ll find information about expected costs, what type of paperwork is involved, and how best to prepare for shipping a vehicle overseas!

Driving In Slovenia

Headlights must be used every time you drive in Slovenia, regardless of time of day, which also goes for neighboring Croatia. There is a fine if you are not compliant with the headlamp law.

Another key difference from other countries is that Slovenia has a very strict approach to driving while intoxicated and the laws reflect that. You are technically allowed to drive with a very small of alcohol in your system, but it’s so low that you’re taking a risk any time you do it.

As with other European countries, Slovenian law requires that you have the following items in the vehicle while in operation: a safety or hazard triangle, fire extinguisher, and a medical kit. You’ll also need a spare set of head lamps in the vehicle, as well as winter tires from mid-November through mid-March.

Satisfied Customers

“I am VERY PLEASED with the shipment for our 1979 Camaro. The vehicle arrived when they said, they called me with a progress report when they crossed the Wisconsin/Illinois border, and then again when they were about 15 minutes from the drop off location. The driver and his co-driver were very pleasant people. I could not have asked for nicer people to transport "our new baby". Thank you A1 for all your above and beyond efforts. You do know your job, and you do it well. This has made my day, week, month, year........... Again, thank you.”

“EXCELLENT! This is the third time, and it still feels like I am a new customer. The reservation and shipment processes are simple and quick. I was in a hurry the last time I called A1, so they asked me for the best time to call back. I was not expecting they’ll go an extra mile by calling me even after working hours as I requested. They surely find ways to make you feel valued. A1 Auto Transport took care of every single detail of my shipment to Iowa. I do not recall any misses. I am wondering how they train their employees. This company earned two thumbs up!!”

EXCELLENT!

“I called Joe a couple times, but he did not answer. 15 minutes later he returned my call apologizing and explaining he was speaking to another client. I asked him a few questions and requested a quote. While waiting for it, I called 2 more companies, so I’d have more options. The quote arrived by email a short time afterwards with a lot of details which convinced me we were speaking the same language. Because of this, I choose them to ship my Honda to Arkansas. Although one of the other quotes was $100 cheaper, the company seemed less reliable, and I didn’t want to risk it. A1 Auto Transport did a flawless job moving my baby, and from beginning to end, I had no complaints. It arrived a few hours earlier than promised in the exact condition I left it.”

“Dear Mark, Thank you so much for your help in getting our classic car to us in record time. It was a bit unnerving at first as we bought the car on Ebay and then not knowing for sure where the car was being stored while waiting for delievery. We were assured that the car was being stored in at you facility out of the sun's damaging rays. We appreicate that. We were told that the car would be picked up on Aug 8th and we thought that was a bit longer than agreed upon however, the car was picked up on August 4th and delievered to us in Arkansas on the 9th. I might add it was transported in a wonderful fashion and your drivers were absolutley wonderful with the car. Thanks again. We would use your company again without a question. ”
